I go to Montana quite alot in fact this weekend so I will see what I can find out and let you know what the cencus is down there. It seems to me it was only a few years ago that they repopulated this area with wolves? So I find it rather confusing????Jill

i'm afraid from May 4th it will be open season 
Wolves throughout Montana,Idaho,Utah.Oregon & Washington will no longer recieve any protection under the ESA,
Montana & Idaho have refused to make enforcible commitments to maintain viable wolf populations, its thought that 2 out of 3 Wolves will be slaughtered leaving populations so sparse that genetic diversity cant be maintained.
